Wikipedia article




"'Excited'" is the third single from Australian indie rock band Little Birdy's debut album, 'BigBigLove', released on 18 April 2005. It was produced by Paul McKercher at Big Jesus Burger Studios, and mixed at Studios 301.

"Excited" reached number 44 on the Australian ARIA Singles Charts.

The B-side of the single includes a live version of "Beautiful to Me" recorded at the 2005 Big Day Out, a short experimental noise track, "Definition" and a version of the Lee Hazlewood song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".

Critical reception



The Oz Music Project felt that it was "a catchy-enough song, with menacing guitars crunching in each ear. However, central to the equation are Steeles impish vocals. Without her singing pushed to its limits, thin in the high registers, but always communicative the song would be a generic grunge-lite song."

Carmine Pascuzzi at Mediasearch considers that Katy Steele's vocals "could be something of an acquired taste" she has "admired the tenacious way in which they deliver their music." In her review of the single she stated "they impress again with Excited. Its slightly darker than some of their previously sweeter tracks. The extra depth allows Katys vocals to expand into a soaring escape."

Australian music publication, FasterLouder, describes "Excited", with its indie guitar groove and Steeles wrought singing style, as "setting the tone well for the rest of the album."
